    JS3 reported on an increase in the number of persons with HIV among vulnerable groups. The national HIV program has not been actively implementing the new approaches on HIV prevention and has not targeted MSM (men having sex with men). The drug procurement scheme based on a decentralized system led to inconsistencies and gaps, affecting access to treatment and health care of patients who were covered by antiretroviral treatment. The national drug strategy for 2013-2020 lacked financial support and operational plans to scale up HIV/AIDS prevention interventions by targeting people who injected drugs. The harm reduction interventions were mainly based on external donors. [Para 30]
